There's literally no proof that she was holding back against Lady at ALL. Her "surprise attack" on Dante did not affected him AT all (despite the scream). He laughed at it and then with a few bullets he managed to get upper hand easily and take her down.

She was shocked that Dante beat Phantom but that doesnt mean she isnt stronger or weaker than Phantom herself, or any other boss for that matter. She had to resort to once again.. a sneak attack during his battle with Nightmare.. and once Nightmare was done, she was done.

Alastor cant do some of the things you listed. In fact, those might be abilities related to the armor Summoning a giant thunder from the sky is Alastor ability that was shown in cutscene, so that would be a minor upgrade. However that was not my point, my point is that even if Alastor is not capable of doing something and neither is Trish... By combining their powers they might be able to do wayyy more stuff that they couldnt achieve normally. Thunder wave of energy or force field, etc... just examples.

Another thing to bring up is...

Trish without a weapon is, for sure, not as strong as you think she is. She doesnt have much feats to begin with (other than shocking Dante twice when he wasnt expecting it and taking down a lot of lesser demons... but hey even Soldier from DMC5 took down a few Empusas).

​​​​​
 * She never took down any giant boss-like demon,
 * She was barely taking upper hand against lady in hand-to-hand combat,(normal human), and even if you say that she was holding back, you can see that she was tired... against normal human... that is usually fighting just with guns.
 * Dante has one-shooted hunderds of Trishes in DMC Novel that were made by Mundus from different dimension (he was even more powerful than normal Mundus and he managed to defeat Sparda from different dimension)
 * Whats even funnier... the Trishes from different dimension were using Alastor.
 * Leaving Trish without any weapon... lorewise and powerscalling wise, would be a bad idea.
